I’ve made up my mind...
I’ve come to the conclusion that the #1 Ranked Most Difficult Job In The World belongs to the baristas at Starbucks who work the Coffee Making Station.
It’s really a no brainer and I’m surprised it took me this long to figure out.
Not a Starbucks-Visit goes by without me in absolute awe of the man or woman manning that particular station. It just seems so entirely difficult and stressful that I’m willing to bet that you would find Starbucks Baristas on the Top 10 List of Jobs That Make You Want to Kill Yourself.
Think about how difficult their job really is the next time you order your Iced Grande Soy Latte Con Leche Moca Frappucino Vente Spectacular With an Extra Shot Drizzled in Caramel.
In an ironic twist The #1 Ranked Easiest Job In The World belongs to the Starbucks Cashier who doesn’t even have to give you a receipt. Just swipe the card and yell out the order. Let the Coffee Maker take care of the hard part! And take care of the hard part they do!
They’ll turn that gigantically confusing drink order into the following code: IG1C. Somehow they know exactly what it means while 47 more orders are being tossed their way. In the meantime, they have a dozen snobby coffee drinkers demanding their IG1C’s ASAP.
I’m honestly fascinated by their ability to multitask with such efficiency. You heard it hear first – within the next few years the term “Going Postal” is going to become “Going Barista”. It’s only a matter of time 'til one of them goes nuts. Only a matter of time.

Now, Discovery Channel struck ratings gold with it's profile of the 'World's Deadliest Job' with their smash hit "Deadliest Catch". Perhaps you might want to tip the execs over there to an idea to profile the 'World's Most Difficult Job' for their next series venture. They could call it "Deadliest Cup."
